Howdy,

I'm starting the restoration of a 63 single cab and have zero experience. Does anyone know of a good book that will cover body prep and paint for a novice? - I probably have too many questions to post them here at this stage! I'd like to know about types of paint, which primers suit which paints, spray techniques, etc etc

Also does anyone know of a good auto paint store in Sydney area?

cheers
Steve

The forum's "Paint & Body Dude" has written a very educational thread about the process of painting a Beetle; the link is here:

This will no doubt help formulate some of your remaining questions.

Good luck with the S.C.!

Sorry, no; if you can see my yellow/white truck to the left, then you ought to be able to see the other pics.

What web browser are you using?
